Disrupt NY 2014 is mere days away, and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer will be joining Michael Arrington for a fireside chat. Mayer will talk about how she’s rebuilding Yahoo, turning the company into a mobile and content-focused platform via strategic startup acquisitions. Yahoo’s most notable content acquisition under Mayer was Tumblr, one of the internet’s leading microblogging platforms. Prior to taking the helm at Yahoo, Mayer spent 12 years at Google, serving as the VP of Local and Location services, leading the product engineering efforts for services like Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Street View and Local Search. less
